Quiboloy justifies defiance to Senate show-cause order

RESPONDING to the show-cause order issued by the Senate Committee on Women, Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KoJC) leader Apollo Quiboloy on Friday presented three legal justifications for why he should not be arrested.

In the 19-page 'Compliance and Legal Justifications' statement signed by his lawyer, Melanio Elvis Balayan, Quiboloy said the Senate investigation compelling him to testify 'over his alleged commission of grave crimes is not in aid of legislation but is tantamount to usurpation of judicial functions beyond the powers of the Senate.'
